Oklahoma State cornerback Kevin Peterson may not be the most talented player on the roster, but he's still one of the most important.

Every week, Peterson goes up against the opponent's best wide receiver. And there are some good ones in the Big 12.

"He's a very hard worker," senior quarterback J.W. Walsh said. "From Day 1, you could tell when he came to campus. He wanted to be a guy who not just came through OSU and played but one that came through and was going to bust his tail and make something of his career and help his team the best he can."

But where does Peterson fall in a list with guys like Perrish Cox and Justin Gilbert? ESPN takes a look.
